What happened

At the November 17, 2025 meeting a student speaker said the SAT was no longer given at school on PSAT day, some students could not apply early action, and the next test was in December. Administrators said the district partnered with Kaplan for tutoring and would write letters for scholarship deadlines.

Why it matters to families

College applications and scholarships depend on test dates.

The evidence

The student said 'some students were even unable to apply for early action because they were not able to take the SAT at all'. An administrator said the district 'partnered with Kaplan' and notified the College Board about scholarship letters. Whether the district later offered an in-school SAT is not shown.
